There have been many rumours about the temperament of the Grand Duchess over the years and also that she is the boss!
Gosh that's nice. I thought that the Lux RF were very popular and the public were very fond of them...
RTL also talks about the hypothesis that the Grand Duke Henri abdicates

Didn’t the Grand a Duke have a serious heart episode in recent years? I wonder if she has been more prominently in control since?
The Grand Duchess, who resides most of the time in Paris, does not hesitate to have all her staff moved to the French capital to hold her meetings, which generates substantial costs and does not necessarily delight her employees...
To sum up, the Grand Duchess manages the house as she sees fit and does absolutely what she wants when she wants...
Cour grand-ducale _ un rapport qui fait trembler le Palais _ Le Quotidien
Translation
It's long been known that the family owns a home in Paris. I seem to remember that the subject was touched upon during the divorce proceedings of Prince Louis and Tessy Anthony de Nassau. I've also read it mentioned several times both here in the forums and in other places that the Grand Duchess has spent a lot of time in the city. One time in particular I remember it being jokingly said that after some engagements in Luxembourg she was on her way to Paris before the dishes had been cleared at the palace.Was it common knowledge that she resides in Paris most of the time? This is new to me...
I doubt abdication would be needed, look at that Dutch scandal with Prince Bernhard. Juliana didn’t abdicate (barely) but Bernhard was punished. I expect something similar to happen here if the report is negative.
I’m sure this is just a culture clash about domestic issues. Every court has its run in with the “Americas”! Thank God Queen Silvia had a European grounding.
